Maggie Sottero, one of the most elegant, popular, and slimming dresses has been the rage for the past season. With an elegant lace up back, much like a corset in order to make your waist look like a celebrity, Maggie has outmatched a fit that even a seamstress (other then Nena) could give. Lindsay Schlegel, one of our brides here at Sarasota Brides, is wearing Victoriana, one of our favorites.“The minute we pulled her up, before she began to tighten the corset I knew it was the dress I was going to wear. I forgot about all the other dresses I wanted to try. I fell in love with her immediately and only wish there was some event I could go to it so I could wear her again!” Doesn’t she look wonderful?

Also, heres a closeup of the dress so you can get a better look from www.maggiesottero.com.

Laurel Oak Fashion Show Fall 2010

All about dresses, dresses, dresses and models, models, models.

Starting with makeup at 10AM to Kristy, Diane, Christine and I cleaning up the piles of messy dresses at 5PM. All the models running about. Slipping in and out of wedding dresses twice in a 10 minute period, which is really a 30 second period when they are on stage for 4.5 minutes at a time. It’s crazy, pushing on veils and birdcages, shoes and jewelry. Maybe I should introduce…

Kristy is the boss. She says what to do and its done. She’s the main mastermind behind what dresses, what jewelry, and what model, and Kristy always gets it right.

Diane’s the producer, she goes to all the events and we call her in quite a few saturdays when we are slammed with customers. Sweet as pie. 

Christine’s the model, though she also works at the store with the rest of us. Nena (our seamstress) call’s her Cleopatra, because she’s a strong woman, and she looks like Cleopatra, you’ll see.

I’m Ali or mini-Kristy and I just do whatever they tell me to do. sometimes adding my own twist or putting my two cents in. The youngest and the wildest, maybe.

The four of us usually work the shows, although there’s more staff at the store who are the most fabulous women in Sarasota and the greatest consultants. Above are the pictures from our latest fashion show. This first one is Cleo, so fabulous.
